QuickBooks Time MCP Server (Combined)

This is a combined MCP server that provides access to all QuickBooks Time API functionality through a single interface. It combines the functionality of four separate servers:

1. JobCode Tools
2. Reports & Core Tools
3. Timesheet Tools
4. User Tools

I would LOVE help improving this project! Just glad to be able to give something back finally!

This entire project was developed and published using artificial intelligence (Anthropic, OpenAI, Llama/META), as I personally cannot write much code without assistance. While every effort has been made to ensure quality and functionality, there may be imperfections or areas for improvement. I welcome any feedback, corrections, or suggestions from the community.

1. Install dependencies:

2. Create a .env file with your QuickBooks Time access token:
